In order to prevent damage to the body of the Volkswagen Beetle convertible when opening and closing the soft top, the frame of all convertibles is equipped at the rear with stop rubbers.
The VW Beetle 1303 convertible also has this feature on the front.
All stop rubbers are equipped with aluminum plates on which the rubber is vulcanized, which on the one hand gives firmness to the rubber and on the other hand allows a neat assembly.
